If I am having/experiencing period pain, then I will sleep. I don’t take any medicine because its bad for me. I only take medicine when I have a headache. I haven’t been seriously sick for at least one year. The last time was when I had a fever and had to go to the hospital.

To stay healthy, I would eat vitamins and keep exercising/playing sport. I would also sleep early. Yoga is my favourite sport and I also enjoy swimming. I try to sleep early but I can’t because I am addicted to my mobile phone. There is so much to see and I cannot resist.
